IMPROMPTU PACKET TRICKS - DVD

Packet Tricks constitute one of the most interesting branches of card magic. Using only a small number of cards magic is created that is often easy to follow, visual and very magical. On this DVD Aldo Colombini presents fifteen packet trick routines that can be performed using a borrowed deck and at a moment's notice. Along the way he also teaches packet trick concepts and the many sleight-of-hand techniques that are regularly used when dealing with small packets of cards. Routines performed and explained: For Marlo (David Regal): A selected card is placed face-up between four deuces. Magically it disappears from between the deuces and appears face-up among the four Queens which have been in clear sight the entire time. Oil & Queens (Roy Walton): Four red cards and four black cards are mixed and as they are expected to separated into reds and blacks the blacks have risen to the top but the four reds have now changed into the four Queens.
Shiftless Royalty (Robin Robertson): The four Queens and Kings are alternated face up and face down. Impossibly they separate themselves while revealing a previously selected card face up between them. Masque Backwards (J. K. Hartman): A Joker takes the identity of three different cards. As a kicker ending all the cards are shown to be jokers before turning back to their original identity. Curtain Call (Max Maven): The Ace-2-3 of Hearts do impossible things as they intermingle with the four Jacks. The Ultimate Truth (Peter Duffie): A lie detector made out of a small packet of cards finds a selected card. That’s Not Possible (Paul Gordon): Four Aces and four Kings are shown, mixed and split into two packets.

 ALDO COLOMBINI

All of a sudden one packed is seen to have the four kings while the other now has a Royal Flush in Spades. Oil And Water (Karl Fulves): Five red and five black cards are cleanly and repeatedly alternated but continue to separate. Finally they are fairly separated but magically become intermixed. Stringray (Aldo Colombini): Three selected cards surprisingly change places with three jacks that are sitting on the table or in a spectators hand. Royal Rhumba (Jean Pierre Vallarino): A beautiful and visual routine where Joker collection changes into a Royal Flush. Wallaby (Hiro Sakai): Four Aces rise one at a time to the top of a four card packet. As a finale all four rise to the top at once. French Twists (Richard Vollmer): A multi-phase routine where the four aces turn face up and face down, singly and two at a time until they are all face up. As a finale the Aces turn face up in the deck after they are lost. Modena Aces (Aldo Colombini): Four Kings vanish one at a time as they are placed into a four-card packet. Amazingly as the discarded cards are turned over they are seen to be the four Aces. Devil’s Elevator (Bruce Cervon & Dai Vernon): The 2-3-4-5 of hearts are placed into a four card packet but continually jump to the top. Exit (Aldo Colombini): Four red cards are placed on the table as four black cards are used for a twisting effect. Magically the four black cards change into reds and the red cards that were placed aside are now all black. Along with the routines you will learn important sleight-of-hand techniques such as: The Ascanio Spread, Braue Add-On, Charlier Shuffle, Criss-Cross Force, Elmsley Count, Hamman Count, Hypnotical Rhumba Count, Mirage Count, Rhythm Count, Veeser Concept and more. Running time: Approximately 100 minutes.

WOW 2.0 FACE DOWN - MASUDA - DVD AND GIMMICK

Wow 2.0 truly looks like trick photography. This is the strongest, most visible, and most practical ending to any Ambitious Card routine ever! Imagine at the end of your favorite Ambitious Card Routine, you offer to "magician-proof" the deck to create an impossible condition. A translucent piece of plastic is placed on top of the ordinary face-down deck to isolate the cards and preclude the magician from any "tricky business." The selected card is signed by multiple spectators to avoid the thought of a confederate. The signed card is placed FACE UP into the center of the face-down deck. This is all rubber banded together so the magician cannot do any sleight of hand. Finally, the deck is placed onto a Spectators palm-up hand. What happens next is nothing short of a miracle... The audience Sees the Face Up signed card Slowly and Visibly rise through the face-down deck. It slowly and visibly appears on top of the face-down deck. There are no trick decks, no trick cards, no difficult handling - as close to real magic as you can get. The spectators will scream in amazement. Many top magicians such as David Blaine, Paul Harris, Dean Dill, David Penn, and others have raved about this trick. You will Love Wow 2.0 and you will use it.

THE GRAIL OPENER is destined to become a new classic for not only opening your show, but bringing up a member of the audience effortlessly for a breathtaking opener that will set the scene for the rest of the show to come. The Holy Grail - This is the version of the Grail that Peter Nardi has been performing for over 2 years (this version totally blew David Blaine away when Peter performed it for him). Imagine handing your spectator a small black envelope which they are instructed to place in their pocket. A packet of cards are introduced and your spectator is asked to name a number between 1-52. Whichever number they name (no force) is the number we go with. The cards are removed from the deck and handed to the Spectator to examine. Once your spectator is happy the deck is normal they count through the cards to their chosen number. The card exactly at their number (not the card before or after) is seen to be lets say the 3 of clubs. Your spectator removes the envelope from his pocket and removes the odd backed card inside, it's the perfect match.

A second spectator is now directed to concentrate on the remaining four-card packet, and, like the first spectator, is allowed to think of a different queen.

The performer shows that it is very interesting that the two spectators selected the particular two queens they did because the rest of the cards are all jokers.

STRANGERS GALLERY

This incredible color-changing deck routine has become a modern-day classic, and once you've seen the impact this has on an audience, combined with the minimal amount of sleights necessary you`ll know why. Effect: From a blue-backed deck, the performer removes three face-down cards from three different places. A fourth card is selected. Each of the three initial cards are shown to match the selected card exactly. The performer remarks that the only way the trick would be possible is if the four cards came from four different decks. Accordingly, the backs of three cards change from blue to black, yellow and white, leaving four cards with four diffrent colored backs! For a climax, it is revealed that none of the four cards could have come from your deck...because it is spread and seen to be RED!

There are two "invisible" gimmicks, built into the natural properties of the wallet; one for the Card in Envelope in Wallet effect and another gimmick used for the Card to Walllet effect.

ONASAKA

Ton Onosaka's 'Frame-Up' is an amusing card revelation and, the more the spectators think about, completely impossible magic. The fact that the picture undergoes a surprising change of state inside the sealed plastic frame and that the magician hands the frame for casual inspection are very strong points in the presentation. Frame-Up is supplied with the plastic frame and straight forward instructions written by Phil Goldstein and illustrated by Onosaka. Transparent plastic board measures 8-3/4 x 6-3/16 inches (22.3 x 15.8 cm.) It is made of a fairly thick, flexible clear vinyl-like plastic with a silver border stenciled around its edges to make it look like a picture frame. Miniature sized cards are neatly arranged in a random pile with space around them left transparent so the spectators can see through the frame. Mechanics of the board are quite simple, although one hand must be positioned properly at one end of the frame when it is displayed before the selected card turns over. After that happens the frame can be handled by anyone, it does not look or feel prepared in any way. Obviously the spectators can't be allowed to tear it apart, but this shouldn't be an issue. Prop is very well made and quite artful, having an aesthetically appealing look that doesn't telegraph magic prop or even that it is somehow gaffed. It looks unusual, but also quite innocent. Demands placed on the performer are forcing a card and learning how to handle the frame for the revelation. The fact that the spectator's card turns face down among the face up cards and then is seen face up among the face down cards when the board is turned over has a nice kicker ending feel to it. As most card workers know, once the pick a card part of the trick has happened the effect is all about the revelation. No Instructions.
